STAR — The Veterans Rural Health team will provide free flu shots and health care information at Star Town Hall on Wednesday, Sept. 18, from 10 a.m until noon.

Star Town Hall is at 222 S. Main St., Star.

Members of the Rural Health program team from the W.G. (Bill) Hefner VA Medical Center in Salisbury will provide free flu shots and VA services for all veterans who are currently using VA health care and to any veteran who brings a copy of their DD-214 and a valid photo ID.

Veterans do not have to live in Montgomery County to receive the services.

The team will provide former and current military members assistance on registration and health care education. Former military members who are not currently enrolled for VA health care benefits will need to bring a copy of their DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, to attach to their application for VA health care benefits.

If you have lost your DD Form 214, you can request a copy from http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/.
